[XB1] TitanFall

[Primetime]

Truth finally coming out about how MS didn't pay for an exclusive license. Sony simply wouldn't give Respawn the time of day. Huge mistake on their part.

Huh? I'm not sure what you're referring to but I can't see how Sony not blowing Respawn was a "huge mistake" considering the PS4 still outsold the XBone in the month Tf launched, even with MS lowering the console price AND throwing in the game for free.

And btw, I'm still waiting for that link.

Respawn went to Sony to discuss the project with them. Sony never gave them the time of day, even leading up to the end. Geoff Keighley went behind the scenes on the entire development process. Here's a video link:

So, EA wanted Sony to pay gobs of money for an exclusive and they didn't? It looks like they made the right call. MS apparently can't even give the game away.

Critics can have their say. TitanFall is the best online shooter I have ever played.

I still think COD4 is the king, but this is a nice change. Also, its the first iteration of the game (do you remember the first COD/BF/any FPS worth a damn being good, b/c besides Halo, I don't), so the sequels will (hopefully) only get better.

GoldenEye?
Half-Life?

I don't recall those having massive online multiplayers, but I did like goldeneye (even though comparing it to modern fps).

LOL. All the Xbox homers got butt hurt I guess? I'm not sure what's off about my statement? They bundled the game with their console and still got outsold. This is supposed to be THE killer app for the XBone.

Same shit, different day around here.

I still need to pop this in though. I'm just dreading the install.

Of all those who groaned you, I'm the only one that posts in the arcade consistently. I'm also the same guy that's never told anyone to buy an XB1 over a PS4 and has nothing but positive things to say about both systems. It's not homers groaning you.

My guess is people groaned you because you spouted off before bothering to watch the posted video showing the actual truth behind it all.

Wrong. I watched the video.

It's the same handful of guys. No biggie. Just predictable.

So you watched a 5 minute video and posted about it in less than 2 minutes? That's impressive.

I had already seen the video. It was all over Twitter, recommended in my YT account, etc. It was also posted in the PS4 thread.
Do you think I get my game News from this place?!? Ha.

Yet you had no idea what I was talking about before I posted it. And you're post reflected nothing about anything in the actual video. It actually went completely against it instead.

Aside from all that though since we're getting off topic yet again, how is missing out on the biggest new next-gen IP not a big mistake? I'm sure multiple people were fired over it.

What...the...fuck? Are you delusional? Just like Pad said in the PS4 thread. It was a sensationalist piece by Keighly. The video you posted is probably some Xbone or Tf nut hugger that acts so appalled that Sony would pass up on the opportunity to pass up on Tf being on their system. When anyone with two brain cells can read between the lines and see it was nothingbut EA and Respawn trying to start a bidding war for exclusivity but Sony didn't bite. And based on early sales, even though Tf 'won' March software sale they barely squeaked by INFAMOUS with ten more days on sale, Sony made the right decision, which was my point.
So how was I off base again?

Is it though? It took Tf over two weeks to sell as many copies as infamous did in nine days.
Maybe Sony didn't buy into the hype like so many other people did. Maybe they just felt that what EA was asking for was way more than what they could get out of it?
Based on MS's fire sales and bundling the game with the console, only to still get their brains beat in by the PS4, says a lot.
People getting fired? LOL. More likely that the people that made the decision at MS to invest so much in this game probably will be looking for new employment sooner rather than later.

Hang on twigg, TF was the #1 selling game in march, how exactly was it outsold? Unless all those NPD reports are lying (or M$ paid them off)?

:dd:

Where did I say it was outsold. I just said it took twice as long as inFamous took to sell a million copies. Learn to read.
